Poanan: Well, to me as I’ve always said, I do put care (part-time in my cv to fill those gaps), because uk experience is not only about the actual experience it’s also about understanding uk work ethics(you and I know some work ethics that is not allowed here vs Nigeria, eg not discussing family matter at work, reporting any issue not the Nigeria way etc), someone that have worked in care and is applying for say like information analyst in NHS where confidentiality experience is needed can chip that in from his care experience because confidentiality is also very important in care as well and can use that to explain his understanding of confidentiality, Information governance. As for boot camp or training centre, it doesn’t really make sense to portray them as normal job irrespective of the sector you are applying to (private/ government), you can include them in your education section or if included in your work experience make sure you put into bracket education e.g Trainee Data Analyst- Masterschool (Part-Time - Education That’s how I did mine to avoid misunderstanding, Also, regarding asking if you are currently employed in civil service during interview, I’m not sure if that is right or not, but if you have any concerns regarding that I think you can raise it, some might ask it not realizing if it’s right or not. Like asking a pregnant lady (can be any one having a temporary or permanent disability or what so ever) during interviews that does she have any health issue that might affect in undergoing training before starting the (during nhs interviews), an interviewer in one NHS board here in Scotland normally ask that question and another interviewer from another NHS board in Scotland says it’s not right to ask such question, that it should be left for the occupational health professionals to ask during pre employment checks. Meanwhile truth be told it doesn’t sound right because the lady in particular was put in a position whereby she can’t say yes or no (because she doesn’t want to lie) because true true she can’t undergo the training till after child birth, which could have skewed the interviewer assessment. 1 Like |

People, I need some understanding on the way the tax system works here (see screenshot). If an works for less than £12k in two different places, does that mean s/he won't be taxed at all in both places? Also, does the HMRC instruct the employer on how much tax to deduct before paying an employee or the employer just decides based on how much salary the employee is earning? One of the reasons I'm asking is because of that 40% once above £50k... 1 Share

Dimdim8593: Copied and pasted (AI) “ The situation described is complex and has potential legal implications, so it's important to approach it carefully. Here's some general guidance: 1. Seek Legal Advice: Before making any decisions, it’s crucial to consult with a legal professional who specializes in employment law. They can provide specific advice based on the details of your case and the laws applicable in the UK. 2. Understand the Allegations: Make sure you fully understand the nature of the allegations against you. Clarify what aspects of the reference are being questioned and why they are considered a form of gross misconduct. 3. Prepare for the Disciplinary Hearing: If you choose to attend the hearing, prepare your defense thoroughly. Gather any evidence that supports your case, such as emails, documents, or testimonies from colleagues or supervisors at the company you did the bootcamp and voluntary work with. 4. Consider the Pros and Cons of Resigning: Resigning might seem like an easier option, but it could have implications for your future employment. Some employers view a resignation in the face of disciplinary action unfavorably. However, if the evidence against you is strong, and you believe the hearing might not go in your favor, resigning could be a way to avoid a dismissal on your record. 5. Assess the Impact on Future Employment: Think about how this situation might affect your future job prospects. A resignation or dismissal for gross misconduct could be a red flag for future employers, so weigh your options carefully. 6. Negotiate an Exit: If you decide to resign, you might be able to negotiate an exit that minimizes the impact on your future employment. This could include agreeing on what the employer will say in any future references. 7. Review Your Contract: Check the terms of your employment contract regarding notice periods and the consequences of breaching these terms. This will help you understand any potential legal or financial implications if you choose to resign with immediate effect. 8. Consider the Emotional and Mental Impact: Facing a disciplinary hearing can be stressful. Consider the emotional and mental toll this process might take on you and weigh it against the potential outcomes. 9. Document Everything: Keep a detailed record of all communications and meetings related to this issue. This documentation could be crucial if there are any disputes or legal proceedings in the future. Remember, each option has its own set of consequences, so it's important to make a decision based on a thorough understanding of your situation, the potential outcomes, and legal advice.” Well, never underestimate lawyer’s advice in this country even tho it’s not free but might worth it, around 30£/hr here the last time a friend used there service, if you go on to see a lawyer don’t lie tell the truth in all. And seek advice, explore other options as well by consulting AI further, don’t underestimate info from there also, don’t use the free version. I wish you good luck and hope it get resolved. 1 Like |

kwakudtraveller: Employers are bound by labor laws and the terms of employment contracts which usually require a fair and thorough process before terminating an employee, especially for serious allegations like gross misconduct. This is to ensure that the decision to terminate is justified and legally defensible. 1 Like |

Poanan: Blind recruitment does not extend to your work history. If they don't assess where you have worked and what kind of transferable skills and experience you have how will they select the best candidates? NHS prefers people with NHS experience, same with civil service and same with any private sector employer preferring people with direct experience in the industry. That said, you can approach this proactively. In the interview for my current role, they didn't ask me but I knew that was a consideration so when it was time for my questions I asked the ones I had and then said I had an additional point to make which was that I knew that they would prefer someone with direct experience in the organisation and although I don't have that, I have A, B, C direct transferable skills because of my experience doing X, Y, Z. These things would usually come up in the interview but it also helps to make it explicit. It also shows a high degree of self-awareness and understanding of the organisation's needs. 1 Like |

ehizario2012: If they are doing two jobs at the same time, they will be taxed in the 2nd job. They can reclaim the tax back at the end of the tax year if the combined income is less than the personal allowance. HMRC issues a coding notice to everyone at the beginning of the tax year and they also send a copy of that coding notice to your employer. The coding notice will show your personal allowance for the year and the employer will use this information to determine how much tax to deduct from your wages. If there are any changes in your circumstance eg if HMRC notices that you have two jobs, or if you have incurred some job expenses etc they will issue a revised coding notice. |

Do you know that despite the hues and cries about student dependents, the main applicant to dependent ratio then was around 5:1. But Suella and her praise singers were making it sound like student dependents were the cause of WW2. I fear who no fear politicians 😀 3 Likes |

hustla: Canada let in the brightest and most talented people through the PR scheme, many of the people that rushed to the UK will not even be eligible to enter Canada either through student route or the PR route you mentioned. I don't know why this argument always boils down to comparing UK immigration policies with other countries like Canada and Australia. Each country is unique and will do what they think it's best for their country. If you don't like it then move to Canada or Australia (But then again most people can't because they won't meet the criteria) The truth remains that why the UK had good intentions but people and immigrants alike abused the system which then makes it unsustainable and they have to restrategise. People selling COS People having fake marriages to bring in dependents Student coming to UK without any means of paying tuition People rushing on Student visa without any intention of studying and abandoning their studies for carework These are the issues that is causing the problems. 7 Likes |

The prices vary based on the Condition (Fair, good, excellent), I bought ‘excellent’ as I wanted something with almost 100% battery health and still very clean.
